AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined fetal heart performance and kidney artery function in 25 fetuses with isolated oligohydramnios compared to 25 healthy controls.
- Findings showed that fetuses with oligohydramnios had a higher myocardial performance index and longer relaxation time, but kidney artery function was similar across both groups.
- Despite these cardiac differences, increased Mod-MPI did not correlate with worse birth outcomes, indicating it may not be useful for managing pregnancies affected by oligohydramnios.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim was to evaluate fetal left modified myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) and renal artery Doppler parameters in fetuses with isolated oligohydramnios and a normal amount of amniotic fluid.
Material And Methods: This was a prospective cohort study; 25 pregnancies with isolated oligohydramnios and 25 healthy, gestational age-matched controls, between 24+0 to 36+6 weeks of gestation, were recruited. Primary outcome was to compare left modified MPI and mean fetal renal artery pulsatility index (PI). The secondary outcome was to compare adverse perinatal outcomes between the groups.
Results: Mean Mod-MPI was significantly higher (p=0.001) and isovolumetric relaxation time was longer (p=0.009) in the isolated oligohydramnios group. Mean renal artery PI values were not different between the groups. Birthweight (p=0.041) and gestational age at birth (p=0.001) were significantly lower, and incidences of delivery before 37 weeks (p=0.034) and Cesarean section due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate testing (p=0.021) were significantly higher in women with isolated oligohydramnios than the control group. We found no significant relationship between Mod-MPI and adverse perinatal outcomes.
Conclusion: Fetuses with isolated oligohydramnios have increased left Mod-MPI, which may be due to mild cardiac diastolic dysfunction. Increased Mod-MPI is not associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and does not seem to help in the management of pregnancies before 37 weeks of gestation with isolated oligohydramnios.

The following article seeks to describe the clinical characterization of patients with congenital complete atrioventricular block. Information was collected from different sources, among which is the presentation of the pathology and its impact on the fetus, and the main basis was look for an association between the use of medications and its prognosis. Within the treatment to be used in patients with fetal atrioventricular block, the use of steroids, beta-adrenergic stimulators, plasma, etc.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of genetic testing using exome sequencing (ES) in oligohydramnios pregnancies with or without other structural abnormalities.
Materials And Methods: A total of 110 singleton pregnancies complicated by oligohydramnios were enrolled, including 52 of isolated oligohydramnios and 58 of non-isolated oligohydramnios. All fetal samples were first tested by quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) and followed by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).
Neglected congenital bilateral knee dislocation treated by quadricepsplasty with semitendinosus and sartorius transfer: A case report.
World J Orthop

Department of Orthopedic, Alnoor Specialist Hospital, Mecca 24241, Makkah al Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare condition that affects only 1% of congenital hip dislocations and can occur alone or alongside other genetic disorders.
- A case study describes a 2-year-old girl with bilateral CKD who experienced delays in treatment due to failed casting and socioeconomic barriers, presenting with limited mobility and other health issues.
- After a multidisciplinary approach, she underwent successful surgery (V-Y quadricepsplasty) and began to regain mobility, underscoring the need for early intervention in similar cases.
Single-Center Experience of Pediatric Cystic Kidney Disease and Literature Review.

Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia.
Introduction: Pediatric cystic kidney disease (CyKD) includes conditions characterized by renal cysts. Despite extensive research in this field, there are no reliable genetics or other biomarkers to estimate the phenotypic consequences. Therefore, CyKD in children heavily relies on clinical and diagnostic testing to predict the long-term outcomes.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate perinatal outcome in singleton pregnancies at term with isolated oligohydramnios, diagnosed by using the single deepest pocket method.
Patients And Methods: In this historic cohort study, the perinatal outcomes of 196 women with isolated oligohydramnios at term, diagnosed by using the single deepest pocket method, were compared to 8,676 women with normal amniotic fluid volume. The primary outcome measure was the Cesarean section rate.
